**CANCELED** Whitewater River Hike in Cashiers, NC
October 5, 2024 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
DUE TO THE AFTERMATH OF HURRICANE HELENE, THIS EVENT IS CANCELED FOR OCT 5.
Visit the Whitewater Special Interest Area which is renowned for it’s unique flora and wildlife. The Forest Service attempted to log 15 acres of the Special Interest Area as part of the Southside Project but MountainTrue and our partners took legal action and won.
The hike will be 4-6 miles and will follow a gated Forest Service road for most of the length. The last portion of the hike will be on steep, uneven ground with no trail. The hike will proceed unless heavy rains or wind are in the forecast.
*Children are welcome if they can hike up to 6 miles without assistance. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the duration of the outing. Well behaved, leashed dogs are welcome on the hike.
Please remember to:
-Wear sturdy hiking shoes and long pants.
-Bring water, lunch, snacks and any medications you may need
Carpooling details will be sent when you register but there will be carpools from Asheville and Cashiers, NC.
